imthegerm 0 #1 July 1, 2008 Just watching the news from my desk here at work and Ch 8, local news here in San Diego just had a quick breaking news story saying that someone got shot in the stomach at the DZ-the video showed a helicopter landing in the landing area at Skydive San Diego-this could be on the military side or Skydive San Diego side-hope everyone is alright! Not sure if this is the right place to put this incident- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #7 July 1, 2008 I used to jump at Cedar Valley in Utah. We'd all bring our guns out and do target practice or go rabbit hunting on crap weather days. Nothing wrong about bringing a gun to the DZ or anywhere. Just make sure you know what you're doing and handle them properly. Gun safety is very easy, very basic. You just have to watch out for careless jackasses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
